A TouTuber said he was going to give away free items such as Gaming PCs, gift cards, Gaming Chairs and other gaming essentials.
Thousands showed up for their free schit, then got angry when they found out he only had a handful of each.
Cops were forced to hold up pieces of plywood and take cover behind cars as angry people threw objects at them.
Watch society crumble before your eyes. Imagine if it was for food?

In New York City that is enough money to kill someone for.
